If you had plans on visiting the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park anytime soon, replan your trip asap. The Kilauea volcano—one of five volcancoes that form the Big Island of Hawaii—erupted, leaking into the Pacific and creating an unique flow pattern. According to The Telegraph, Kilauea is one of the most active volcanoes on the planet and has been continuously erupting since 1983, making it the longest rift-zone eruption of the last 200 years. While lava can be a beatiful sight to look at, we hope it doesn’t cause any major damage. Back in January 2011, it destroyed several houses in the Kalapana area.
